great i'm glad i helped one thing i believe in is the only thing you want to buy from petco , pet smart , or places like them are fish everything else is priced way too high birds are priced way way too high and are poorly kept

mikeb

go to www.debsbirds.com/calender or paradisebirdmarts.com/bird_mart_list.html and you might find a bird show near you but i would mail order 1 go to ebay and search bird cages they have a lot of choices for the same price of cage at petco you can get a bigger cage with stand shipped free item # 4002...

mikeb

you will pay out your **** for a cage from petco or pet smart if you can wait till you have a bird fair in your nearby area you can find that same cage for a whole lot less or something like it if not check on ebay or amazon i'm sure it can be found cheaper and not having to pay taxes will take care...

mikeb

just put in pallid for the male and nothing for the female green is the normal color and you don't have to choose it

mikeb

that's it

mikeb

no the grey pallid needs to include blue also

mikeb

no grey green is a totally different bird for a grey bird put in blue and grey, grey is a blue series bird and so is violet if you want to see what a violet bird will produce you have to put in blue and violet so for what you have you would have to put blue, grey, and pallid for a visual bird and bl...

mikeb

green to green if the birds aren't split all will be greens grey is a blue series bird so if you breed 2 grey birds and neither of them are double factor you will get blue babies also go to www. gencalac.com click on pisttacula parrots in the species list then on indian ringnecks and you can get the...

mikeb

grey is a blue series bird so if neither one of them are double factor breeding 2 grey birds will give you some grey and some blue babies

mikeb

50% males 50% females

mikeb

males blue/ pallid - females blue pallid

mikeb

all lutino/blue

mikeb

all will be blue and the males will be split to pallid

mikeb

violet/ct male with cobalt female will give you blue, violet blue,cobalt, and cobalt violet babies some split to cleartail and some not and the only way to tell which ones are split is by breeding them to a visual bird ! i would suggest if money is not an issue to get a visual cleartail instead of a...

mikeb

they normally start the end of winter, early spring. usually when the days start getting longer and the temps start to rise

mikeb

pine shavings work fine don't use cedar shavings though i read in a bird book they are toxic to birds so use pine shavings you can find them at any pet store, wal mart, or agriculture center

mikeb

hi there, there is a site www. gencalc.com that has genetic breeding for all types of birds not just irn's you just find the species of bird and punch in the colors of the parents and it will tell you what colors the babies could be. as for info on breeding, nutrition, & etc don't know of any we...

mikeb

hi and welcome the best way is to get them used to each other is by putting them in separate cages and placing them next to each other and in time you should see them sleeping as close as they can possibly get together being in separate cages once that happens you can put them together in the same c...

mikeb

hi glen what's the difference between turquoise and turquoise blue

mikeb

green male with cinnamon grey female if neither one are split to anything you will get males 50% green and 50% grey-green (same as your other bird you call olive) and they all will be split for blue cinnamon the females will be 50% green and 50% grey-green and all of them will be split for blue

mikeb

might be an african ringneck they look the same as an indian ringneck but have a black beak

mikeb

price depends on where you are at as far as whwt you would have to breed it to a visual whwt and all the babies would be split whwt in order to get visual whwt birds you have to breed a visual whwt bird with another visual whwt bird and all babies will be visual whwt and if you breed a visual whwt b...

mikeb

Hi millijade you can do the dna test yourself you just have to pull a few feathers or clip a toenail just a little short so that it bleeds and dab it on a card and which ever way you do it and send the sample off and here in the US results come in a couple days by email then the paper works come a f...

mikeb

hi , yes you can go to an avian vet and have it surgically sexed or do a DNA test which usually is cheaper and you can do it yourself i'm in the US and don't know where you can get it done over there just put in avian DNA test in your search engine and you should find something welcome mike

mikeb

not really sure this is the first time it's taking this long this is the first time that this pair have been together for the male it's his first breeding season and the female is proven for the previous owner and this is her first season for me all my other pairs no problem 3-5 weeks max mike

mikeb

most of the time it's a few weeks but not always the case i've got a pair thats been breeding for 3 months now and i'm still waiting for an egg. breeding 2 grey birds together if they are not split to anything will give you grey and blue chicks because a grey bird is a blue series bird unless one of...

mikeb

yes the parents colors and their parents colors determine the colors of the chicks go to www.gencalc.com to the right side of page you will see a list of species click on psittacula parrots then on indian ringneck and punch in the colors of the birds you wish to find results of breeding male is left...

mikeb

what is the other forum is it also about ringnecks welcome and thanks mike

mikeb

hi donna , thanks for your reply ! i knew of females rejecting the male at the start of breeding season but never heard of them attacking them while they were raising their young i,m just glad i found him when it must have just started and in time to save his life again thanks for the info you can n...

mikeb

go to www.hoobly.com click on birds then on the left side of page click on more birds then click on indianringnecks and it will be just the ringneck ads only there you can get a good idea mike

mikeb

the next morning i found him sitting on the perch ! i took him out of cage and applied some antibiotic cream to his wound took a water bottle an got him to drink and this morning i seen him picking at his food he seems to be ok but he is not very active but very alert when i go near the cage to chec...

mikeb

hey guys have you ever heard of a female attacking the male after they have bonded, mated, and still raising young ? i found him before she killed him but he is tore up pretty bad around the beak area no feathers left just raw meat took him out and put him in a separate cage at first he just laid on...

mikeb

yes the red eyed ones are ino and the other not

mikeb

a week or two and sometimes it's next year

mikeb

when feeding sweet or hot peppers do you need to remove the seeds first or just give them the whole thing ? thanks mike

mikeb

they don't always sleep on their perches i have several irn's that sleep hanging on to the side of their cages the only time they sleep in the nest boxes is during breeding season and some of the males never sleep in them at all so if your not planing on breeding and just have a pet i wouldn't waste...

mikeb

could the male have known that the egg wasn't going to hatch and cracked it open to eat the baby ? the egg i put with the ringnecks hadn't hatched as of yesterday and should have hatched tues or wed it looked a lot darker than the ringneck eggs almost black like by just looking at it. well i checked...

mikeb

no!! you would be taking a big risk at breeding time it would be best to make aviary into separate cages to house individual pairs and it's best that the partitions are solid so they don't see each other so birds in different cages don't want to bond to one another instead of the bird in the same ca...

mikeb

they could be split if their parents were but you can't tell if a bird is split by looking at it a violet or blue bird can be split to something depending on the parents but no other color bird can be split to violet so if the violet and blue birds are not split to anything half of your babies will ...

mikeb

they would not be split to anything violet is a blue series bird that is a dominate gene, blue is a recessive gene and no color bird can be split to violet so if the bird has no visual violet gene it cannot produce violet birds. i suggest going to abk publications and ordering phil robson's book the...

mikeb

a violet paired with a blue would give you 50% violet & 50% blue babies if they are not split to anything, you would have to know what they are split to to figure out what their potential babies would be . it would be best to put them each in their own cage next to each other and see if they see...

mikeb

took out clear ringneck egg and replaced it with the plum heads' this morning checked this afternoon and it appears that she hasn't noticed the size difference because when i saw her off the nest i looked and it's still in the pile now it's the waiting game ! hopefully the plum heads will lay again ...

mikeb

not sure of age i only know he has fathered young for 2 years before and i don't know if egg hatched or if he cracked it to get the young. the eggs should of started hatching yesterday or day before i looked a few hours before and none had hatched when getting ready to feed my birds i seen him eatin...

mikeb

my plum heads first baby hatched today and the male ate him does anyone have any idea why he would do this? i'm feeding them well with vegetables, fruit, & cockatiel mix and when i bought the pair i saw that years babies & the breeder never mentioned anything & i think he would have if t...

mikeb

right grey like violet are dominate and can't be split to. so it's a grey bird but looks creamino just like a grey violet bird is violet but looks grey

mikeb

so it basicly works like the creamino is spit for grey but it is a grey turquoise blue ino bird and not split so it would be just an added bonus and wouldn't need it's mate to be visual or split THANKS for you help mike

mikeb

so how do i tell the difference between the grey turquoise ino and the creamino birds

mikeb

hi glen looking at the results whats the visual difference between grey turquoise blue and grey turquoise blue ino, does the ino bird just have red eyes thanks mike
